SOLICITATION NUMBER: FA8601-15-R-0039
The scope of this project involves the replacement of an existing cooling tower that serves the cooling system of facilities 10262 and 10266. The location of the new tower is directly south of the existing tower. To minimize downtime of the building cooling systems, the existing cooling tower equipment will remain operational until the new equipment is brought online. The existing condenser water piping (asbestos-cement) will remain operational and be modified to incorporate the new tower design and location. The project includes a new cooling tower support building to house chemical tanks that treat the cooling water. The tower and building will have a perimeter screen-wall. A new electric service will be installed underground. Completion of work will include removal of all fencing, paving, electrical, and plumbing associated with the existing cooling tower, and final grading and seeding of the site.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS/CONCERNS: Construction Phasing: The construction process will be completed in three phases. Phase 1 will include demolition of site items and construction of the new cooling tower complex. Phase 2 will include connecting existing condenser water lines to new cooling tower. This will require a shutdown to be scheduled on weekends and coordinated with Base CE and bldg. 262 personnel. Phase 3 will include demolition of existing cooling tower and other miscellaneous items, and replacement/repair of site work.
